Tetanus Vaccine Injection used to prevent tetanus (also known as lockjaw), an infection caused by a bacteria named Clostridium tetani.
Tetanus Vaccine Injection works by producing an immunological response to the antigens. Thereby, it helps prevent tetanus infection.
Currently, there is no cure for tetanus. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications.
Tetanus vaccine protects newborns from tetanus. For the prevention of tetanus in newborns, immunisation of women with child-bearing potential, especially pregnant women, is recommended. Consult the doctor regarding the dosing schedule or if you have any concerns.
Tetanus can be prevented through immunisation with tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccines such as Tetanus Vaccine Injection. However, people who recover from tetanus do not have natural immunity and can be infected again.
CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends tetanus vaccination for everyone. Getting vaccinated against tetanus is the best way to prevent infection and is very effective.
Tetanus is acquired through infection of a cut or wound with the spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani, and most cases occur within 14 days of infection.
No, tetanus cannot be transmitted from person to person.
Yes, tetanus is a very serious disease that requires immediate treatment in a hospital. Therefore, contact the doctor immediately if you notice signs of tetanus such as jaw muscle spasms, sudden/involuntary muscle spasms, painful muscle stiffness, and seizures.
Complications of tetanus include laryngospasm (uncontrolled tightening of the vocal cords), fracture (broken bone), pulmonary embolism (blockage in lungs caused by a blood clot), aspiration pneumonia (lung infection from inhaling spit or vomit), and difficulty breathing.
